Peter's Probationary Poems - 5. Dream - Poetry Prompt 10 - Italian Sonnet
Dream
When dwindling thoughts make all senses loose hold,
somewhere unconscious a two-leg sling looms.
Dreamland, the path of the living resumes.
Black pit of darkness, the dead creep blindfold.
Path of the living is granted to most,
vivid digesting as reawaken.
Some are condemned to the road less taken,
the nothingness vacuum, blackness their host.
Oh Lord, I beseech Thee, when comes the time
for the last visit to that fright’ning spot,
please spare me the coarse unlit downward climb,
destined to anguish eternal distraught.
Send me the bright way regardless my crime,
unfolded rightness may that be my lot.
Keep consistent 10-syllable lines, and use the rhyme pattern of: a-b-b-a; a-b-b-a; c-d-c-d-c-d.
